5000 South Fairfax Road

Case Date:
8/27/2018

I use the Walnut St and Fairfax Rd intersection about 10 time a week, going to and from work. Coming from Fairfax Rd turning left on to Walnut (to get to 37) is challenging, inefficient and dangerous. There is a designated left turn lane, but no left turn green light. Frequently only one car is able to turn left during a green light, causing several cars behind also turning left (after the light has changed) to rush through on turning left to get through intersection. Coming from the opposite direction, there is no left turn lane and to my knowledge no other designated lane, but the lane is wide enough for cars that are going straight to pass (on the right) the vehicles stuck waiting to turn left. Thus potentially causing an accident in the intersection. Left turning cars onto Walnut St don't see the 2nd car across passing the car in front of them waiting to turn left on to Walnut St. My suggestion would be to clearly mark lanes on each side of the intersection and put up a traffic light that includes green left turn signals for the Fairfax Rd and Walnut Street intersection. Thank you for your time.

I was wondering if there could be signage added on W. 3rd Street to encourage people to use the "zipper" merge when traveling westbound towards HWY 37 during this construction? When I try to travel home each day, traffic is backed up from the highway to Liberty Drive, with all cars in the right lane, due to signs warning of the left lane being closed ahead (at the intersection of Fairfield Dr. and Highway 37). People are trying to be courteous, but they are actually slowing down traffic by doing this. I have seen a sign before that said "Use both lanes during backup" - could that be a possibility? I live on Fairfield Dr., so everyday is tough and people seem to be making poorer choices each day because of the traffic. Thank you for your time.

Good afternoon. I live at 415 W. Graham Drive on the south side of Bloomington. I am writing in hopes of having a two- way stop become a four-way stop at the cross roads of Graham and Madison streets (and possible speed bumps put in). I have noticed (a lot) of drivers who turn on to Graham accelerate to a high speed because the west/ east of Graham does not have to stop at the intersection where Madison crosses (north to south). I cannot tell you how many times I have heard breaks squeal because the driver at the stop sign does not realize that cross traffic does not stop. Graham has a very high volume of foot traffic whether it be pedestrians walking to the bline, or their pets, or children walking home from the school bus. This makes for a very dangerous situation. I realize this is not a residential neighborhood- it's more of a city street, but I am concerned for everyone's well being and I believe making that a four-way stop would aide in motorists to slow down and be more aware of their surroundings. Thank you, Amanda

The yield sign on the corner of 5th and Adams is facing the graveyard and needs to be turned to face drivers on the street.

I work at the school of Business and travel south on Fee Lane. I noticed that there are no speed limit signs from 17th to 10th street. When students are present I usually travel about 20 miles an hour. Yesterday a motorist passed me just before you get to the crosswalk in front of Mc Nutt. There were waves of student on both sides of Fee lane. This motorist crossed the double yellow lines traveling at about 35 miles an hour. Can speed limit signs be installed for about 20 miles an hour? This is a dangerous place for pedestrians.

915 E 3rd ST

Case Date:

Has the city considered installing a protected bike lane on 3rd street? Particularly between Jordan Ave and Indiana Ave. I just drove by and there were TWO Semi-tractor trailers parked in the lane and a sedan parked in the lane. It really reflects poorly on the city that you put in useless white paint and nothing to actually protect people from vehicles. I never bother to use the bike lanes for this reason, you never know when you'll have to keep re-entering vehicle traffic.

2801 East Allendale Drive

Case Date:
6/18/2018

I have reported this intersection (Allendale and Winslow) before. Motorists run through the stop signs on Allendale on a regular basis. I see this at least once per week (I live in Sherwood Oaks) and each member of my family observes this as well, so it happens a LOT. Several years ago I was told you were going to install bigger stop signs and put on on each side of the road to make them more visible. Nothing has happened. Perhaps a glowing/flashing stop sign such as they have in other cities? Thank you, Kim

2027 South Rockport Road

Case Date:
6/13/2018

The barricades set up on Rockport Road at the intersection of Roger's Street and Rockport Road are creating a dangerous situation. Specifically, the barricade in the lane for Rockport approaching Rogers requires traffic to drive in to oncoming traffic. This particular barricade doesn't seem to serve any purpose, as it is only visible to traffic traveling on Rockport towards Rogers street, the opposite direction of the Tapp/Rockport intersection.

900-902 South Rogers Street

Case Date:

For years I have seen many drivers on Rogers (both directions) blow through the stop sign at Dodds. I’ve had three near-misses that I can recall and have seen others have near misses. I saw 2 just today. I’ve come to the point where I think there is something wrong that so many run this stop sign. I don’t know if more prominent striping on the street or larger signs will help or not, but I feel it needs investigation.
